• SUSE documents are generally built with DAPS (package daps) and the SUSE XSL Stylesheets (package suse-xsl-stylesheets). It’s available as a SUSE rpm package from the the SUSE repository Documentation:Tools or directly from Github.

• If you are running a (recent) version of openSUSE, you can install our documentation toolchain with the following command: sudo /sbin/OneClickInstallUI https://gitlab.nue.suse.com/susedoc/doc-ymp/raw/master/Documentation.ymp

• If you don’t want to download the entire documentation toolchain, you can also build documentation using DAPS inside a Docker container with daps2docker:

  • Clone the daps2docker repository.

  • Change directory to the folder which contains your documentation source files (doc-caasp).

  • Execute the daps2docker.sh file, for example by running ../daps2docker/daps2docker.sh ..

  • Follow the commandline instructions for further building options.

• Basic daps usage:

  • $ daps -d DC-<YOUR_BOOK> validate: Make sure what you have written is well-formed XML and valid DocBook 5

  • $ daps -d DC-<YOUR_BOOK> pdf: Build a PDF document

  • $ daps -d DC-<YOUR_BOOK> html: Build multi-page HTML document
